Plus you need to manage subscriptions, billings, CMS, a front end to navigate the content, etc. That’s no small amount of work, even if they used out of the box solutions for many layers.
minus-squareripcord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·5 months agoDepends how many users. But yeah a lot.
